Generate an RSA key through any method, then copy it to the PC. Load the key in TinyTERM and supply the username & hostname as normal. TinyTERM still asks for both username and password on connect, as though RSA key was not there.

This happens because the hka= and hkafile= keys in the .tpx file aren’t set when you use an RSA key. The key is ignored because it’s not written to the .tpx. But manually editing the information into the .tpx file doesn’t always work either.
